Marinated Nettles

Ingredients:One jar of nettle tops. (I take the jar with me in the garden and harvest the nettle tops straight into the jar. I also press them gently to fill the jar as compactly as possible. 3 cloves garlic Zest of one lemon Juice of three lemons Olive oil

Method:1. Add garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice to the nettles in the jar. 2. Add enough olive oil so all nettles are completely covered. 3. Let sit in a warm place, like a kitchen. 4. Already after three days, you can open the jar and start eating the first marinated nettles. Tastes great with salad, on top of raw crackers with soft cheeses… 5. Like this, you can daily take some nettle tops out of the jar. With time, the taste becomes more and more delicate. 6. When there are no more nettles, you end up with lovely dark nettle oil that is delicious for all sorts of salad dressings.
